The J/105 has become the largest and fastest growing offshore one-design in North America. North Sails has tapped into its vast resources of talent to help develop the fastest sails in the class.

Using our unparalleled technology to develop the best shapes, custom fabrics, and tuning techniques, North provides the best solution for sails and customer service. This new tuning guide is a culmination of years of development through "on-the-water" experience in both regattas and testing sessions. Our tuning guide is meant to help new owners get up speed as fast as possible to promote even better competition in the class. You will find that you will use this as a way to get started and then use the "Quick Tuning and Trim Guide" for your day-to-day sailing needs. We appreciate any feedback that you may have to help us improve our tuning guide.

Good luck and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments!
